Master Closet Reveal

“When our homes-the containers of our daily lives are overflowing with clutter, our souls take a backseat to our stuff. We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences. We feel cramped and inhibited, like we can’t fully stretch out and express ourselves.”

We still have a few things to give away but we ‘re both enjoying the space so far. I’m glad that we have a little “office space” since our home lacks that formal room.

It can be quite difficult to get a moment to clear your thoughts, work on your blog (I have been interrupted twice since I started typing this while in the dining room), or some reading done with three little ones running around. The new closet has given us a chance to “escape” for a few moments and that is such a great gift.

Anyone wondering what the deal is with the dolls? Well, I started collecting special edition Barbie and porcelain dolls back in high school. I thought I would eventually pass them on to a daughter, but with having our 3 chipmunks, I decided to give most away. I discovered that I had a total of 13 Barbies before the purge! They were all stacked in the corner collecting dust and I didn’t even remember owning some of them. I decided to keep 4, but the number may end up being more like 1 in the near future.

I also kept the porcelain doll sitting on the desk because it was the first one my mom gave me while traveling in Paris. It definitely holds great sentimental value. 🙂

What did you do with your Barbies? I have some that I want to sell on Ebay at some point once I decide I have the energy to research prices. My mother started collecting them and now that she’s dead, I just want my space back.

Hi Michelle!
I gave them to Goodwill. When I checked the prices on Ebay it wasn’t worth the hassle. I only have two left now and probably will give them away too. It’s time for me to do another major declutter 🙂
